Yup, I think you'll find the situation in IronPython 2.7A1 to be a bit better
in this respect:
D:\rft\vsl\dlr\bin>type blah.py
from System.Diagnostics import Stopwatch
t = Stopwatch()
try:
t.Start()
x = 1/0
except Exception, e:
t.Stop()
print t.Elapsed.TotalMilliseconds
D:\rft\vsl\dlr\bin>"C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.6\ipy.exe"
blah.py
2.6096
D:\rft\vsl\dlr\bin>"C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.6\ipy.exe"
blah.py
2.4518
D:\rft\vsl\dlr\bin>"C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.6\ipy.exe"
blah.py
2.4622
D:\rft\vsl\dlr\bin>"C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\ipy.exe"
blah.py
0.7887
D:\rft\vsl\dlr\bin>"C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\ipy.exe"
blah.py
0.7633
D:\rft\vsl\dlr\bin>"C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\ipy.exe"
blah.py
0.7683

IronPython 2.6 and earlier rely on the .NET exception mechanism.
.NET's exception handling is extremely slow, whereas CPython has an extremely
fast exception handling system. I don't know the details of why each is the way
it is, though - engineering tradeoffs, I guess.
IronPython 2.7 will have a 'lightweight' exception mechanism that should be
closer to the performance of CPython.

Unfortunately, I think that's pretty much idiomatic Python, which often relies
on it's very fast exception handling. In .NET you use the
Try* methods instead, which don't throw exceptions.
If you don't need CPython compatibility, you could use System.Double.TryParse
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/994c0zb1.aspx), but I don't know how
to use out parameters from IronPython off the top of my head.
On an unrelated note, you can write your print statement as:
print "Total: %s RateGet: %s RateSets: %s Exception Handle: %s
Rate: %s" % (t.Elapsed.TotalMilliseconds, rateGet, rateSet,
e.Elapsed.TotalMilliseconds, Rate)
